Letter from Allen St.

Dear love, wish you could see it How around here, it's never really dark Neon's buzzing, still I can't cheat it Like it's illuminating this broken heart Don't you worry, I'm not sending you this letter I know you would not like who I've become I might hand you something better Once I'm done drinking myself dumb It's true what Vincent said about this town How it's just waiting to swallow you down Inside I'm dying, what's become of me? Stumbling drunk down on Allen Street Desperately crying but no one's hearing me All alone, down Here the buildings and what surrounds me Seems to bring me to my knees It's of you it reminds me Though the signs are in Chinese Now there's not too much left of me Lost my mind somewhere by Houston and B Inside I'm dying, what's become of me? Stumbling drunk down on Allen Street Desperately crying but no one's hearing me All alone down on Allen Street This time I'm all on my own The Grey Lady's looking sweet But she can't help tonight This desperation's more than I can bare Thirty-seven hundred miles astray, not feeling right I'll send a silly postcard and disappear Inside I'm dying, what's become of me? Stumbling drunk down on Allen Street Desperately crying but no one's hearing me All alone down on Allen Street All alone down on Allen Street Can't find my way home from Allen Street This time I'm all on my own
